Nude Seated on a Bench with a Pillow (Woman Bathing Her Feet at a Brook) is a 1658 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching on japan paper shows a nude woman sitting on a bench with a pillow. She is bent forward, with her right hand touching her left foot, which is resting on the bench. Her head is bowed, and her hair is pulled back. The background is dark, with some lighter shading around the woman's body. The woman's pose suggests she is bathing her feet at a brook, but the brook is not visible in the image. The etching technique gives the image a sense of depth and texture.
